New American Restaurants near Walnut Creek, CA

“Great food and atmosphere for celebration“

“Amazing food and service. The flavors were amazing and delicious. The beets appetizer were very good. The Lamb Kabobs are excellent. Inspiration of this restaurant is from Middle East, Africa and California as per the owners comments. We loved all the menu and the trout and Lamb bastila were the highlights“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“Food is always good. Can’t go wrong 😁👍🏼“

“I love this place! Love the food, love the ambiance love the service and it’s great for my kids too!“

“We just had the most awesome breakfast at The Hangout in Martinez. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It had just the right amount of crunchy spicy sweet goodness. Fast and friendly service.“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“We’ve been to at least 3-4 times. We like it here. The food was surprisingly good. They just recently chabged the mode pf ordering from cafeteria style to restaurant seating and ordering at the table. The truffle mushroom pizza was very good and the bread pudding was extra good. Will keep coming back“

“What a fun night. This was our first time @ Citrus Fresh Grill and we very much enjoyed it. Started with some delicious appetizers that all at the table partook from and all were happy. For entrees between us we tried Fresh Grilled Cod, Skirt Steak, Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Caesar salad - let me just say this - we were a clean plate table because everyone loved their food. The only sad part was we were to full to even look at the dessert menu. Can't wait to go back.“

“This is what we had tonight but, they have excellent food and service every time.“

“I had the chicken Alex had the pork loin both cooked to perfection �“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“Great food!“

“This was our first brunch at Batch and Brine and it was so delicious! Im not sure why we’ve only been for dinner?! We will be back soon for brunch! Chicken and waffles with fresh fruit were a hit!! They make their own pastrami and use it for hash! Every bite of pastrami was so tender, meaty, and flavorful. I prefer it to any corned beef hash. It was Father’s Day and very busy but the staff were all individually friendly, calm, organized, attentive and really worked well together as a team! They really had some very special items on the menu (mimosa flights etc). I can’t wait to try pastrami sandwich for lunch/dinner. Burgers are always reliable, juicy, flavorful and substantial. Excellent fries, salads, tacos and cocktails!! Recommend 100% for a casual but well crafted menu, indoor/outdoor seating and friendly attentive service!“

“Fast food that doesn’t give you indigestion! (5/5 Green Stars) On the downside – the items (e.g., fries) are not dripping in fat. On the plus side, the items are not dripping in fat! It may take a while to get used to the healthier version of fast food, but think of it this way – it’s actually nourishing your body instead of poisoning it. The signature burger, made from organic quinoa and mushrooms is so much better for you than a burger made from meat. Same deal for the planet, with organic and 100% plant-based ingredients. I’m giving Next Level Burger 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact for the following reasons: • 100% plant-based. Obvious major benefits to animals, society and the planet. • Organic ingredients. Again, benefits to the planet and society. • All packaging, down to the straws, is compostable. That’s the best way to manage the waste stream for this kind of restaurant. • Next Level has supported groups like BLM and Covid healthcare workers. • Founders advocate for plant-based food to deal with climate.“

“Excellent! We had a great experience!“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

“We came here because we saw it online and saw that it was Black owned and had 5 stars. Finally got a reservation and very pleased. We got sat in the speakeasy section and it’s a trip. Food is Really good really rich. Seabass special was exquisite. Everything was on point and service was attentive.“

“I recently visited Crush’d and had such a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to share. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable evening.

The cocktails are absolutely outstanding—creative, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The food is just as impressive, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. It’s clear that a lot of thought goes into both the menu and the overall experience.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff particularly Casey consistently goes above and beyond to provide personalized attention, making each visit feel special. They remember preferences, offer thoughtful recommendations, and genuinely make you feel valued as a guest.

It’s rare to find a place that excels in every aspect—drinks, food, and service—but this wine bar does exactly that. I always look forward to coming back.“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“what a wonderful place to have breakfast I have not tried their lunch yet but it was so good and the portions are really big I really enjoyed myself with my family.“

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.“

“We had the most pleasant experience celebrating our anniversary at Baxters! From the moment we walked in, the ambience was absolutely perfect — warm, and beautifully set for a special evening. The owner and servers were incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. The food was delicious — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. To top it all off, they surprised us with a celebratory toast and a song for our anniversary, which made the night even more memorable and special. That personal touch meant so much to us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Baxters to anyone looking for great food, amazing service, and a truly special experience!“

the family running this restaurant seems very hardworking and are very friendly and caring toward their customers which we appreciated as well ☺️“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. It's clear they genuinely care about providing a great dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious! The mango margaritas are hands down my favorite, they're perfectly balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The chile rellenos plate was incredible, with flavorful peppers, delicious filling, and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I will definitely be coming back for the flavors and feeling of home.“

“We had the brunch menu for the first time. We sat outside, it wasn't crowded at all as there was mixed weather, a rain storm approaching. The service was a timely and very attentive. The food, Salmon Hash Brown and Eggs Benedict were served warm and plentiful - a plate full. The excellent ingredient mix combined spicing was perfect, and in the end very delicious. A great way to start the day, so glad we went early and plan to come back again soon. Cheers!“
